LONDON, April 28 (Reuters) - Parents should be vigilant
about a severe inflammatory disease among infants that some
medics fear may have a link to COVID-19, a junior British
interior minister said on Tuesday.
"It demonstrates just how fast moving this virus is and how
unprecedented it is in its effect," Victoria Atkins told Sky
News.
"The chief medical officer has said that it's extremely rare
but we must all be watching very carefully through this virus,"
she said.
Italian and British medical experts are investigating a
possible link between the coronavirus pandemic and clusters of
what appears to be Kawasaki disease, a severe inflammatory
disease, among infants who are arriving in hospital with high
fevers and swollen arteries.
